Newly-Diagnosed, Histologically-Confirmed Central Nervous System Tumours in a Regional Hospital in Hong Kong : An Epidemiological Study of a 21-Year Period.

Conclusion: This retrospective study of CNS tumour epidemiology revealed increasing trends in the incidences of several common CNS tumour histologies in Hong Kong, which agrees with the findings in large-scale studies in Korea and the United States. It is important for different geographic locations to establish their own CNS tumour registry with well-defined and structured data collection and analysis system to meet the international standards.
